“We both come from trade backgrounds. I’m a bit older, four years, and I was always in residential, while Brendan worked more in the commercial space. Bringing both of those experiences together has given us a unique advantage,” says Co-Founder Daniel Minkus. FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION What sets Mink Building Group apart isn’t just the elegance of the homes they create, but the foundation of how they’re built. Every project is a custom job, crafted in collaboration with clients and architects from the ground up. “We specialize in high-end architecturally designed homes,” says Minkus.“We don’t repeat designs. Each one is a one-off, and with that comes its own set of challenges and opportunities. Every house is different, and every project is unique.” This dedication to bespoke construction means Mink Building Group carefully selects the projects they take on, often working on two to six homes a year, depending on their size and scope. As budgets increase, so too does the level of design detail and complexity. Currently, its average project cost ranges between $3 million and $6 million. “We’re not a huge team,” Minkus explains. “We’re a family-run business, and we keep things tight, but we’re very efficient with our time and resources. It allows us to maintain the high standards our clients expect.” AWARD-WINNING HOMES While Minkus is proud of all its builds, a few standout projects reflect the company’s evolution and ambition. One early milestone was a knockdownrebuild project that won an HIA (Housing Industry Association) award,Australia’s leading industry body for the residential building sector. “That house was a full knockdown and rebuild, and it won its category with the HIA,” Minkus recalls.“It’s featured on our website, and it put us on the map.” Another standout, though not yet professionally photographed, pushes the boundaries of what residential construction can be. 29 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 07 MINK BUILDING GROUP
